He was also a model citizen off the court and was beloved in the locker room.<BR/><BR/>All Blazer fans are pleased that the 'jail blazer' era is over, but now that we can look back in hindsight, Sheed was a stablizing force for an always-changing lineup, and the Blazers remained a winning team throughout his career with the team. He was always a selfless player who cared more about the success of his team over individual achievements.<BR/><BR/>Please give Rasheed Wallace the credit he deserves for his career with the Blazers when the Pistons come to town in early December.<BR/><BR/>An eccentric guy for sure, but a great player; and more importantly, a great Blazer.<BR/><BR/>With that said, congratulations Terry. You deserve it.Bill Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17906585786855552297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-11646941630701343932008-12-17T11:04:00.000-08:002008-12-17T11:04:00.000-08:00I second marshdom's motion.

In fact, I'd love to see old number retirement ceremonies - but I'm assuming those aren't available? How cool would it be to have all of those videos on-demand from Blazers.com?PDXDealsGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147792740520145095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-20027393839550356222008-12-17T07:26:00.000-08:002008-12-17T07:26:00.000-08:00A real class guy.
